Try a Free 14-Day Trial at Ancestry and Learn About Your Family History

Ancestry is offering a free 14-day trial, allowing you to explore your family history. With this trial, you’ll gain access to all the features included with a paid membership, such as building your family tree and uncovering records like census, marriage, and immigration records, among other benefits.

To start your free trial, you'll need to select a subscription plan, but you won't be charged until after the 14-day trial ends. The best option to take advantage of this offer is the monthly plan, as you can cancel anytime. In contrast, with the 6-month plan, you’ll incur a $25 fee if you cancel before the end of the term.

If you decide not to continue your membership and want to avoid any charges after your free trial, you'll need to cancel at least two days before the trial ends.

If you’re interested in trying Ancestry's DNA kits, please note that they are sold separately and are not included in your free trial.

How to get the deal:

  • Go to Ancestry.com to activate your free trial.

  • Sign up using your Google or Apple account, or choose to sign up with your email by providing your personal information and creating a password for your account.

  • Choose the monthly plan you’d like to try: U.S. Discovery, World Explorer, or the All Access plan.

    • You can cancel your subscription at any time, but you must do so at least two days before the end of the free trial period to incur no charge. If you don’t cancel by that time, your paid subscription will begin after the free trial ends.

If you choose to subscribe to their 6-month plan options, you’ll be charged a $25 fee if you cancel your subscription before the end of your term. If you’re unsure about keeping your subscription past the 14-day trial, I suggest selecting one of their monthly options. The cost is a bit higher per month, but you won’t be charged a cancellation fee.

  • Click “Start Free Trial,” then select “Get started for free.”

  • Enter your payment information to complete your order. You will pay $0 today and will only be charged for your selected plan after the 14-day trial is complete.

It's also worth noting that the All Access plan is currently offering a deal where your first six months are discounted to just $54.99 per month. After that, you'll pay $59.99 per month.

What do I receive and when? During your free trial, you’ll have access to exclusive records and tools to help build your family tree and trace your ancestry through history. You’ll gain access to this information and these tools as soon as you complete your order.

Do I need to cancel? Yes, Ancestry is a subscription service. If you don’t want to continue using their services, you’ll need to cancel your membership.

Note: If you don’t want to be charged after your 14-day trial, you’ll need to cancel at least two days before the end of the trial period to avoid incurring charges.
